After spending his entire pro career with the Brewers, Corey Hart signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Mariners earlier this month. In a classy gesture, he took out an ad in the local newspaper today to say thanks to the fans of Milwaukee and the Brewers organization for their support over the years.

Hart has been most gracious to the fans in his time in Milwaukee……we would get tickets in the RF corner once a year, and more often than not, both of our kids would end up with a ball courtesy of him. Fun to watch him, sad to see him go, especially after injury.

Thank you, Corey. I always had a lot of confidence when you were up to bat and you were a fun player to watch. You also had the guts to have International Harvester as your batting music. I will be cheering for your success in Seattle!

Wow Corey Hart took out an ad in the newspaper, how original. How about honoring his comments to take less money to stay in Milwaukee after being out all year. THAT would be something to celebrate, not this.

Spot on overseer03, I look at the ad as damage control. Corey stated “I’ll give the Brewers a hometown discount to stay”. Melvin offered a deal that included $4.5 million guaranteed plus easy incentives based on staying healthy that brought the deal up to $8.5 million.

Corey LIED, he took the money an ran. In my book he owes the Brewers $10 million for non performance 2013. He might be a nice guy but he LIED to us Brewer fans.
